  Ethereum is not an organization […]

  Right. Ethereum is not an “organization”. It’s several organizations (like the Ethereum Foundation, say) with suspicious overlap in membership (like Vitalik Buterin, say) whose top 100 ETH addresses (out of about what? a quarter million? a third of a million?) own ~40% of the ETH making them one motherfucking powerful voting bloc. (Even Bitcoin, with some whales that are making people look askance at it, has only about 14% held in the top 100 addresses!)

  And this doesn’t even begin to address the clusterfuck that is the enormous problem of PoS having “the rich get richer” built into its very core.

  …you don’t need to use NFTs or smart contracts if you don’t want to

  Agreed. And indeed you don’t need to use any cryptoscam bullshit at all. Which is what most people do. Because most people aren’t clueless idiots and can actually smell a scam. The cryptoshills are obvious scammers at the level of Nigerian Princes-in-Exile!

  Here’s a suggestion for you, Sparky. Why don’t you toddle off back to nostr where the rest of your cryptobro buddies and their victims hang out instead of trying to infect yet another domain with your criminal scam?
